But don't just take our word...
“I have been working with Intel Corporation in Amsterdam since September 2000. My first position was as a Buyer for the CPU boxing warehouse in Amsterdam. I then moved on to be a Planner for the boxing warehouse, which entailed subcon management; engaging with geographical business organizations; sales and marketing organizations; capacity management and many other aspects of planning. Currently I am working as a Business & Systems Analyst, which involves a lot of project work. I am the Operations Lead on a project team, which is implementing a new SAP Shopfloor Control system and am training to become a Project Manager.
The coaching I received on giving presentations in WIT has aided my development within Intel. I would also like to thank the Lecturers I had during my studies at WIT: without their patience and extreme dedication I would not be where I am now. “
